This would be the perfect car for a college or high school student, or for anyone who needs ultra-reliable transportation. It's a good illustration of the fact that the 2006 is the only recent Altima recommended by Consumer Reports. My wife and I bought this car new in Sept. 2006 and are the only owners. My wife drove it until a couple of months ago, when I bought her a Buick because she wanted something soft and comfortable (we are in our mid-60s). The car has been extremely reliable, with no breakdowns or mechanical problems. All systems and accessories are in perfect working order (power steering, brakes, windows, door locks, driver’s seat, mirrors, ice-cold A/C, etc). It has a tilt steering wheel, cruise control, and AM/FM/CD stereo. I am driving it to work occasionally now, so the mileage will change slightly. I just decided to sell it because we have five vehicles at home (for two drivers) and I prefer to drive my ‘92 Mercedes or my ‘77 Fiat Spider. All our children and grandchildren of driving age already have good vehicles.

The car was in a minor accident about five years ago, when an oncoming driver came across the center line and my wife had to decide instantly to either hit him head-on or go into the ditch – thankfully, she chose the ditch. It was completely repaired with all-new parts, and there has been no problem of any kind with it since. The car has a few normal little “booboos” such as small scratches, parking lot bumps, stains, etc. The most noticeable thing is the clear coating, which was scratched up when our granddaughter decided to surprise us by washing and cleaning the car and used a scouring pad to get pine tar off the hood and back deck. The left front fender has a very small crease in it, and the back right door is about 1/8 inch out of alignment from the time I started to back out of the carport without noticing that door was still open (no air or water leaks – it is completely sealed and you have to be looking for it to notice it). The car looks great from 15-20 feet, and only shows these things from up close. Check the photos carefully and you’ll see what I mean.

This car has been meticulously maintained, and I have all service records for everything that has ever been done. I have the original window sticker and paperwork. All of this is in a file which will go to the new owner if you want it. I don’t know of anything the car needs now, or will need in the future except normal maintenance.

I think I have covered all the relevant information about the car; if there are any further questions, feel free to contact me.

I have total confidence in this vehicle, and would drive it anywhere, anytime. In fact, if it doesn’t sell for some reason, we will drive it from NC to Arkansas for a family reunion in July. There's no reason it won't go another 160K miles. Please look at my feedback and bid with confidence. I will let the bidding begin at $500, and I set a very reasonable reserve of $3000. I’m not interested in taking any less; it’s worth that much to me as a spare. Kelly Blue Book (kbb.com) prices it for a private sale at $3900 in fair condition and $4600 in good condition. NADA guides show an average trade-in of $3400 and a retail of $6450. Both of those take into account the existing mileage, of course.

Good luck and happy bidding! Winning bidder must send $500 via PayPal within 24 hours, with the balance due in cash and the car picked up within 7 days. Thanks!

Nissan bringing 2014 Versa Note to Detroit

Sat, 12 Jan 2013

Nissan today confirmed that it will be showing the 2014 Versa Note - not Versa, not Note, but Versa Note - at next week's 2013 Detroit Auto Show. And while we can't see a whole lot from this one teaser image, we're willing to bet that the car looks a lot like this.
All Nissan will tell us at this time is that the Versa Note will have "segment-exclusive technology, outstanding fuel economy, smart packaging and class-leading cargo space." Sounds... class-competitive.
Given how turned-off we are by the second-generation Versa sedan, it'll be interesting to see just what's in store for this Notably more functional version of the affordable compact. Stay tuned for the full details live from Cobo Hall in just a few days, and scroll down to read Nissan's brief press blast.

2014 Nissan Maxima gets new Limited Edition model, pricing

Fri, 30 Aug 2013

With a new Maxima expected to debut next year for the 2015 model year, Nissan is only making small changes to its big sedan for 2014. Buyers looking to get behind the wheel of Nissan's "4-Door Sports Car" will be happy to know that the base price for the 2014 Maxima carries over from 2013 starting at $31,000 (*excluding the $810 destination charge).
Aside from two new colors, the only change to the base Maxima S is the addition of a new option group. Sounding very similar to the Sport Package available on the SV, the $750 Limited Edition Package adds smoked Xenon headlights, dark-accented 18-inch wheels, a rear spoiler and fog lights. Stepping up to the SV trim level, the Maxima now comes standard with a rearview camera, Xenon headlights and a seven-inch screen, but its price has also been increased by $850, so it starts at $34,090. Scroll down for more info on the 2014 Maxima.

Mitsubishi Motors halts some SUV sales in Japan as MPG scandal grows

Tue, Aug 30 2016

Mitsubishi's fuel-economy scandal is going from bad to worse. First, the Japanese automaker claimed it lied about the fuel economy for a few kei cars, then it claimed fuel economy tests for as far back as 1991 could reveal mile-per-gallon figures that were tampered with. In May the automaker, admitted that every single vehicle it's sold in Japan could be affected by the fuel-economy scandal. Now, the Japanese automaker revealed that more of its vehicles were involved in the fuel-economy cheating scandal – and one of them is sold in the US. After completing its investigation into the automaker's fuel-economy scandal, Japan's Transport Ministry found that Mitsubishi overstated the fuel economy for eight more vehicles in marketing brochures, one of which is sold as the Outlander Sport in the US, reports Automotive News. The Transport Ministry ordered Mitsubishi to stop domestic sales of the models, which include the Pajero, Outlander, and RVR SUV (known as the Outlander Sport in the US). The latest finding adds to four kei cars that were previously noted for having overstated fuel economy figures earlier this year. Japan's sixth-largest automaker is having a hard time recuperating since the scandal broke earlier this April. The initial scandal led to the automaker suspending its sales, which caused a large dip in the automaker's market value. The scandal required Mitsubishi to seek financial assistance from Nissan, which agreed to buy a controlling 34-percent stake for $2.2 billion. Investigators hired by Mitsubishi to look into the automaker's overstated fuel economy figures revealed the company's "corporate culture" as the issue. More specifically, the investigators founds the company's pressure to improve fuel-efficiency figures, a lack of unity between divisions, and an unwillingness to accept fuel economy shortfalls as the reason for falsifying its vehicles' mpg figures. Mitsubishi is expected to compensate Japanese owners for the overstated fuel economy figures, which would result in a massive loss for the automaker. The company is expected to post a net loss of roughly $1.4 billion this year, pushing Mitsubishi into the red for the first time in approximately eight years.
